Kodak Black has been removed from solitary confinement, his lawyer Bradford Cohen confirmed to Pitchfork. The rapper, born Dieuson Octave, was reportedly set to spend 30 days in solitary confinement for allegedly using the phone to call someone with whom he was not allowed to speak. Cohen told Billboard, “In my 21 years of practice, I’ve never had someone get 30 days solitary for a three-way call.” Pitchfork has reached out to the Broward County Sheriff’s office for more information.

In an email to Pitchfork, Cohen wrote, “After we objected to the move and requested they provide details about how many other inmates were punished in a similar way, the Sheriffs office decided to remove him from solitary confinement.”

Kodak Black was arrested in January over an incident in which Kodak’s young child was allegedly shown in the vicinity of marijuana and a handgun during an Instagram Live broadcast. (Cohen claims that the guns and drugs were fake.) The rapper is facing two charges: one count of possession of a firearm, ammunition, or weapon by a delinquent, and one count of possession of cannabis over 20 grams. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
